09:36:49 PDT
Question: Is JavaScript Microsof t's version of Java?
Answer: JavaScript was created a long time ago and is widely used by all browsers today, like Chrome, Firef ox and
IE. WinJS is a JavaScript UI library created by Microsof t f or Windows 8 apps. It is built on top of JavaScript like
jQuery UI and Twitter Bootstrap

09:37:43 PDT
Question: If he does another "onclick" assignment in his example, would it replace the current "onclick" event or
appened it to the "onclick" event?
Answer: onclick is a simple property of the element. re-assigning it would overwrite the other handler. If you want to
use multiple handlers, you need addEventListener

09:40:25 PDT
Question: What is the dif f erence between JS and Java?
Answer: Java is an object-oriented language that runs on a Java virtual machine - it is not typically used in the
browser. It is similar to C# in technology. JavaScript is a prototypal scripting language that is used mostly in
browsers, but is starting to be adopted in places outside of the browser like in NodeJS.

09:43:29 PDT
Question: I thought the name tag is depreciated/not used in HTML5, only the id tag is supported

Q&A Log

Question: Hi guys, as you are talking about HTML + CSS + JavaScript should we assume that it is better to have
Javascript as server side code vs. C# ?
Answer: I'd say it depends heavily on your needs. NodeJS can run JavaScript on the server -side, but in some cases
ASP.net would better suit your needs

09:49:32 PDT
Question: i think C# has its own lot of benif its. C# can do all those, which simple JS like Node.js can't do.
Answer: It really depends on style and what your needs are. Sometimes C# has a lot of boilerplate f or something
simple you can do quickly in NodeJS.

09:49:53 PDT
Question: Can someoe please link the codepen that Mr. Foster is using right now?
Answer: http://codepen.io/codef oster

09:52:09 PDT
Question: Two part question: 1) Are there any good resources on packaging a web app f or of f line delivery? My
clients customers are ship-board with limited or no bandwidth. 2) Does it even make sense to think about deploying a
web app in such a constrained scenario?
Answer: Customers can side-load packaged WWA apps (HTML5 apps f or Windows 8/8.1) f or of f line use in low -
bandwidth scenarios. With Windows 8, we really want to make things f it your developer skills and not f orce you down
one API or another.

09:52:52 PDT
Question: I had to pop out f or a second, so maybe I missed it, but are you going to talk at all about gracef ully
handling html 5 in older browsers that don't support it? I know there are some f rameworks that help with this.
Answer: We're not going to be addressing that.

09:53:40 PDT
Question: Do you record the class?
Answer: yes. it will be available f or download as a f ull course in two weeks

09:54:09 PDT
Question: Thanks Rob. Unf ortunately a small percentage of my client's customers are running Win8. We (ugh) even
continue to support WinXP sites...
Answer: That's going to be tough f or the long-term to support a real packaged, of f line app experience down to XP.
You might consider shipping a Node.js server/local web client app in that case, although that seems like overkill in
many ways.

09:56:01 PDT
Question: In the f loating box example thing by codef oster, when you change the number of boxes, the size retur ns to
the def ault 100px until you move the f irst slider to update it. Is that because I'm using chrome or it was intentional?
Answer: Not sure. I'll have to check it out. Feel f ree to f ork and f ix it.

09:56:22 PDT
Question: I'm guessing that I am the dinosaur here since I earlier posted I speak DOS. Does anyone but me

10:15:27 PDT
Question: how to use the external css script in html
Answer: CSS: <link type="text/css" href ="{URL to external CSS f ile" rel="stylesheet" />

10:19:00 PDT
Question: Rob, can you do phone on the lower SKU's or does it need Hyper-V f or the WP emulator?
Answer: Good catch, you're right - Phone 8 development requires Win8 Pro because of the Hyper-V requirement.
Just looked it up on MSDN.

10:21:58 PDT
Question: What should I do when my PC doesn't support Hyper-V? Which part needs a upgrade?
Answer: It's generally either a BIOS or processor issue. Many of the low -end processors don't physically include
some of the required f eatures. Other times, BIOSes disable Hardware Virtualization f eatures as well. Check your
boot-time setup f or such Hardware Virtualization settings.

10:24:16 PDT
Question: I'm currently learning C# but not sure what console app can really do f or me lol.
Answer: You could try to make a Windows app instead of a Console app?

10:24:31 PDT
Question: @Rob speaking about the WP emulator - can I use it to test how my website would look on phone? Or is it
limited to loading apps?
Answer: For sure! And actually, with Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 + Windows Phone 8.1, you can directly debug
your web site f or things like responsive design and see your DOM explorer / JavaScript debugger. You can also build
things like ASP.NET applications that your phone can access via localhost, and have them being accessed f rom a
client app (f or example, if you build a WWA or XAML app, it can access that service via localhost as if the service
were running on the phone).

10:33:18 PDT
Question: I have to say that Foster is an excellent comunicator. It's not the f irst event I see with him, it's very easy to
learn with him. Here's the question: building web apps using responsive layout is good, but it would be better to have
this as a native App. Is this possible? (make a WebApp a Native App using HTML+CSS+JS)?
Answer: WWA is our platf orm f or HTML+CSS+JS apps, what advantage is there in making a C# WebView app to
host the same content?

10:34:09 PDT
Question: I'm thinking Jeremy is either an Eagle Scout or a sailor with all of the knot examples.
Answer: sailor I think

10:34:42 PDT

CSS and WinRT

10:43:57 PDT
Question: is WWA a platf orm that needs to be setup in VS dor example
Answer: In the list of new project templates in Visual Studio, if you choose a project under the JavaScript item, those
are all WWAs.

10:44:14 PDT
Question: I downloaded the CodeShow app in Windows 8, but I'm not seeing most of the demos.
Answer: Click the "Demos >" link in the top lef t f rom the home screen of CodeShow.

10:45:23 PDT
Question: WWA is a step to universal Apps? It will be used in the f uture as it is? What changes should we expect?
Answer: As of Windows Phone 8.1 and Visual Studio 2013 Update 1, you can build a Universal App using WWA f or
both Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1, so yes.

Q&A Log

10:46:07 PDT
Question: @Rob, back on the Windows 7 question...two people asked questions, so I don't know if your answer
applied to my question. On the Windows store, codeShow is not available f or Windows 7. So I'm assuming that only
part of the answer applied to Windows 7, namely, "...or get the solution at codeshow.codeplex.com".
Answer: codeShow is a Win8/8.1 app. You can't run it on Win7.

10:47:28 PDT
Question: How do you search f or the solution on codeshow.codeplex.com?
Answer: I'm sorry I don't understand your question. They told us this URL earlier in the talk.

10:47:41 PDT
Question: Could you post here the link f or the website that Jeremy show to check browser capability?
Answer: http://modern.ie

10:47:46 PDT
Question: For f lexbox, do all the divs have to be loaded at load time, or can they be loaded dynamically as they are
brought into view?
Answer: The browser will resize the elements if you modif y the markup... not sure if that answers your question

10:48:30 PDT
Question: How do i search f or the demos going to Codeshow.codeplex.com
Answer: You need to actually run the app. The demos aren't located there f or the purpose of viewing.

10:51:08 PDT
Question: Wich is the dif f erence between HTML and HTML5?
Answer: HTML5 is the new standard of HTML.

10:52:12 PDT
Question: I installed codeshow, the samples shown are not ther thanks f or your help
Answer: Make sure you're clicking on the "Demos >" header in the top lef t to see the f ull list of demos. We know that
some of the demos they showed are not appearing, we're going to try to ask during the break.

10:52:31 PDT
Question: what has happened to xhtml?
Answer: It is considered superceded by HTML5.

10:54:08 PDT
Question: what is angular js?
Answer: Angular.js is a f ramework that emphasizes separation of concerns between the HTML and templates and
the JavaScript code and data, so that you don't have to worry about DOM manipulation.

10:54:16 PDT
Question: Hey Sean, so f or f lexbox, Jeremy scrolled through div with text in them. I am guessing those were loaded
when the page was loaded. But could those div be loaded via ajax when the div comes into f ocus? Does f lexbox
support ajax?
Answer: f lexbox does not have anything to do with ajax. That is, if you designed your own UI control to render those
boxes, you probably need to know at least how many to render bef ore you draw them on the screen. Whether or not
you need to wait f or a network response has to do with your design.

10:54:17 PDT
Question: so html5 replaces xhtml
Answer: Yes.

10:55:15 PDT
Question: So the takeaway is, when in doubt "f lexbox"?
Answer: I would argue that when in doubt, use the def ault. Flexbox is really designed to solve a specif ic layout issue
with f lexible box models and such
Q&A Log

10:55:37 PDT
Question: I meant to help it work correctly in older browsers?
Answer: One of the great parts about CSS is the cascading nature. You can start with older browsers style rules f irst,
and then override them with newer style rules. New rules won't be understood by older br owsers. You don't need to
duplicate, just order them correctly.

10:56:49 PDT
Question: I've heard that some web browsers are still not compatible with HTML5. Is this correct and what would be
your recommendations f or cross-browser compatibility?
Answer: HTML5 is mostly supported in all modern browsers. There are limited HTML5 f eatures that are not yet
widely supported. In general, if you use a popular web f ramework, these issues are solved f or you. Google Polymer is
a good example. WinJS is also working on this issue.

10:57:18 PDT
Question: So order them older to newer?
Answer: Right.

10:57:39 PDT
Question: Hi Rod, is it possible f or an intermediate coder to learn C# along with JavaScript or maybe PHP?

11:13:42 PDT
Question: What propreties can be changed by animation? Can a text change it's color? Can I make element to f ade
out by animating hidden property?
Answer: http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-transitions/#animatable-css

11:14:24 PDT
Question: What propreties can be changed by animation? Can a text change it's color? Can I make element to f ade
out by animating hidden property?
Answer: Almost all color/size/position properties can be animated. Some properties are better perf orming, though. I
recommend using opacity f or hide/show animations. See: http://msdn.microsof t.com/en-
us/library/jj680148(v=vs.85).aspx

11:14:38 PDT
Question: so if it lags it will skip f rames rather than take longer to f inish the transition?
Answer: Correct, animations can be skipped or appear jumpy

11:15:49 PDT
Question: Will codeshow run on a win phone?
Answer: It will, but the Windows Phone app is not published to the store yet

11:16:15 PDT

11:18:48 PDT
Question: How do I get to Mikes page on codepen.io?
Answer: codepen.io/palermo4

11:22:10 PDT
Question: if you search f or red text f or example, will it recognise the text as red as soon as the transition begins, or
only at the end?
Answer: If you mean "search f or red text" by using a CSS style selector of .redtext or doing a querySelector in
JavaScript... then the answer is that it will f ind it right away... the class is applied to the element and THEN the
transition runs, but the class is available right away

11:22:43 PDT
Question: I missed Jeremy's answer on how he would apply those transf ormations prior to the current css way
Answer: There was no good way using CSS or JS, so we would have had to rotate it in our graphics sof tware and
rendered it as an image... yuck.

11:24:27 PDT
Question: What steps are required to become a Technical Evangelist like Jeremy & Micheal?
Answer: 1. Love code, 2. Love people and talking, 3. Work f or years developing sof tware, 4. Apply, 5. Cross your
f ingers

11:26:19 PDT

us/library/ie/jj127313(v=vs.85).aspx

11:26:25 PDT
Question: Hello! Is ASP.net vNext discussed on any day of this course? Thanks in advance!
Answer: not in this MVA course

11:26:45 PDT
Question: so can you make the transf orm take 2 secs, or do you apply a transition on it
Answer: transf orms don't, on their own, have the concepts of time or animation... like you said, you apply a transition
to it to make it change over time

11:27:39 PDT
Question: Thank you f or that inf o (transf orm origin)
Answer: transf orm-origin is the actual CSS property

11:30:10 PDT
Question: Can transf orm also do mirror af f ects?
Answer: Good question. I f eel like perhaps it does, but I can't remember. Can you search it and report back?

11:30:42 PDT
Question: So, 'transf orms' handle changes in space, like rotation and scale, and 'transitions' handle time, the
duration of change?
Answer: Mostly correct, I'd like to clarif y: transf orms are the actual transf ormations to position, size or color. the
transition is the timing f unction and duration.

11:30:59 PDT
Question: isn't orientation related to north being 0?
Answer: Sort of , but I believe the question we attempted to answer was more about an origin... a rotation point or a
skew point or whatever

11:31:14 PDT
Question: Can't work. SkewX and SkewY are just one-f actor versions of Skew(X, Y) if I recall directly. Sadly, no Z
axis there...
Answer: Dang. Thanks.

11:32:00 PDT

Question: dif f ernece between developing app in html,css,javascritp and C#.Xaml
Answer: XAML is like HTML, it's still markup but the elements and attributes have dif f erent names. There is no CSS
equivalent in XAML. C# is heavily object oriented where as javascript is prototypal and highly dynamic

Answer: Perf ect example

11:38:52 PDT
Question: .trans is a class right but i dont remember what # is called... is it just ID? Or some other name in CSS?
Answer: # is the symbol f or an ID selector

11:39:02 PDT
Question: The rotate example does not work in Firef ox, 23.0.1, any f ix f or it? IE does f ine.
Answer: Make sure you're using the correct vendor-pref ixes in the CSS

11:39:51 PDT
Question: Can you use the transf orm on a ID selector as well? or does it have to be a class?
Answer: An ID selector would work f ine... any selector works

11:40:18 PDT
Question: Wouldn't scaling up a group of elements see them overlap each other?

Question: Can I use hover or onclick of one element to apply - or start - the animation or transf ormation of another
element? ie. create zoom in / zoom out buttons f or some other element? Or can I do so with JavaScript?
Answer: Yes - you could use :hover pseudo-selector, or if you want to respond to click you need to add a click
handler. In the javascript case, you can toggle a class on the element you want to toggle between states

11:43:42 PDT
Question: How do you rotate images?
Answer: Like he's saying now... with a transf orm property (i.e. transf orm: rotateX(10deg))

Q&A Log

11:44:06 PDT
Question: how can we beam and scale at the same time?
Answer: The transf orm property can take multiple transf orm statements separated by spaces.

11:44:20 PDT
Question: can you use translate with a transition to get a slow movement ef f ect or is that done better in JS?
Answer: Depends if you need to know the position or interrupt the animation. If it is a simple animation that should
always play, then CSS transition would have better perf ormance

11:44:58 PDT
Question: Will "translation" takes elements our of f low?
Answer: No. If you translate a word out of its place a hole will be lef t.

11:46:54 PDT
Question: If you scale a word and make it small, it sets in the middle vertically. How do you get it to set on the
bottom like the other words?
Answer: change the transf orm-origin. I believe the value of 100% will work.

11:47:35 PDT
Question: if you have a translate on a hover will the element untranslate if the hover is broken on translate?
Answer: Yes, if you use the :hover pseudo class to apply the transf orm, it will reset when you unhover

11:48:31 PDT
Question:: is it take top lef t corner as ref erence in in recent css ?
Answer: transf orm-origin: 0

11:48:56 PDT

11:51:05 PDT
Question: There screen show a scrollbar at the bottom of code show but my windows 8.1 enterprise has no scroll
bar
Answer: It depends on whether you're using a mouse or not. If you use a mouse it shows the scrollbar. The solution
to the issue you raise is to lead the user's eye of f the screen by clipping the content, but it's tough to always clip the
content in the demo section of codeShow because it's of variable width.

11:52:18 PDT
Question: is it like mathematics that whatever inside parenthesis is done f irst
Answer: There is an implied order of operations in JavaScript and order of evaluation in CSS. I don't think you can
generalize "parenthesis are f irst"

Q&A Log

13:26:10 PDT
Question: Is the WinJS object a part of IE? Or is it f rom a javascript library?
Answer: WinJS is its own JavaScript library. It started as a WWA f ramework, but has now moved to be cross-
platf orm: http://try.buildwinjs.com/

13:27:12 PDT
Question: Can I access WinJS library inside website or is it Win8 only library?
Answer: You can use the open-sourced WinJS project f or web pages. It is currently under development to go cross-
browser. Many of the browsers are already supported: http://try.buildwinjs.com/

13:29:38 PDT
Question: So promise is actually a wrapped subroutine that interrupts itself to return intermediate status to main line
of code and allow the main line to process the sub's status and then return control to the subroutine - which picks up
where it lef t of f bef ore reporting status?
Answer: This is a usual side-ef f ect of using promises, but it is not its primary purpose. A promise is a way to
coordinate several async/sync tasks, so that they evaluate in a certain order or with specif ic timing.

13:31:11 PDT
Question: I missed a tip around using promises outside the WinJS world. on http://www.caniuse.com i saw that
native promise is not supported in IE so f ar at all. You mentioned JQuery def f ered method.
Answer: I believe ECMAScript 6 is proposing native Promises as part of JavaScript. WinJS has a promise
implementat ion that is built using pure JavaScript. I've heard jQuery promises are even f aster than some native
browser implementations. The point is many f rameworks have their own implementat ion of promises or f utures.

13:33:05 PDT
Question: How is the variable "localstorage" def ined to make it work like that? Or is 'localstorage" a key word?
Answer: There are a f ew reserved objects on window: http://msdn.microsof t.com/en-
us/library/ie/bg142799(v=vs.85).aspx

13:35:56 PDT
Question: Can you retrieve data f rom local storage if you go back to the page using a dif f erent browser? Ie, go to the
page in ie and go back later in chrome?
Answer: No, localStorage is managed by each individual browser, not the OS

13:36:11 PDT
Question: Where is local storage located on the client machine? Will an app need permission to use it?
Answer: This depends on the browser. The permissions are set in the browser.

13:36:34 PDT
Question: Is the previous data erased?
Answer: Yes, it is overwritten. You can see some more inf o here about clearing data: http://msdn.microsof t.com/ en-

Question: Can local storage be disabled by a client?
Answer: Yes, it's important to check if there is storage available

13:45:29 PDT
Question: SeanLee, Actually there's a way to use CSS only to achieve such ef f ect where you hover over one div and
another div changes. You just need to have nested divs and ref er via CSS to them in such a way: div1:hover #div2 {
... } Anyway, the solution is rather specif ic than general and not so "elegant"
Answer: I believe you're ref erring to a solution where you style div1:hover in a way that af f ects div2, but that's hardly
a usef ul solution

13:48:24 PDT
Question: Regarding the indexedDB - is there any persistency at all? Can I make a database, store it in local storage
and load it during user's nex visit?

Question: What construct in .Net Framework is similar to indexedDB?
Answer: LINQ?

13:52:12 PDT
Question: What's the advantage of using WebSockets rather than Ajax (XHR)?
Answer: WebSocket gives you f ull-duplex communications between clients. XHR only supports GET/POST to a
server

13:52:32 PDT
Question: IndexedDB, where do it store the data? Browser managed f iles/f olders, Temp f iles or other places?
Answer: This is abstracted by the browser

13:53:13 PDT
Question: Can I know what is Fiddler Web Debugger? There was an hour-long network outage f rom my side.
Thanks.
Answer: Fiddler is a tool to help you debug network traf f ic. It is especially usef ul if your app/website makes several
web requests and you need to debug the packets/responses

13:56:26 PDT
Question: Does the websocked lead to JS f ile? Or can I open a websocket to, say, perl CGI script or ASP.NET dll?
Answer: The WebSocket uses TCP, so as long as you can handle TCP requests, you can communicate with the
socket

13:57:00 PDT
Question: @SeanLee: Fiddler seems to be similar to Wireshark, but which one is recommended?
Answer: I like Fiddler or even the one built in to IE F12. I guess it's personal pref erence. Fiddler works well with
Windows Store apps too.

Question: I wonder, how much of this is managed in Windows apps? Is there some microserver running the JS? I
know that this is web platf orm Jumpstart, I am just wondering which part can we use f or store development...
Answer: In a Windows app, you just have an instance of the IE engine (engines actually, Trident and Chakra) that
runs the apps. It's not a web server then. Just a browser engine basically.

web server in the app, but you do have access to the app package f iles via the ms-appx:// f ile protocol

14:11:19 PDT
Question: Are there limits to how many sockets can be opened at the same time?
